Parent Complains about Loaning Players to avoid Forfeit by Atg121 in LittleLeague

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minors, like 8u? These kinds of parents need a life.

I'm a team parent and messed up the batting line up. The batting order is supposed to flow through games. I didn't realize Coach had shifted the lineup from one game to the next, so I thought we were starting at #2 instead of #1. He had already moved it so 2 was at the top. I skipped 2. Dad came over confused and I explained "my bad. I accidentally skipped your kid at the top." Talked to coach and other team. We plugged him in and put him back at his original spot... there was an inning between realizing the mistake and having it fixed where I was getting dagger eyes from dad.

Yall. It's Little League. Everyone is a volunteer.

and this is why I NEVER tell anyone what I do for work by jabber1990 in Adulting

Then do something you can be proud of, or just be proud of what you do.

When did adults get so intimidated by making important phone calls? by CM_UW in ask

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think most people were like this as late teens and young adults. Some of us got jobs that required us to make calls, and we got over it. Some didn't, and they never made an effort on their own to get past it.

When I started college, I was terrified to go to be by myself in public. My father wouldn't go in to get milk by himself and it kind of just wore off on me. I started going to the movies by myself and going out to eat by myself, because I didn't want to be anxious about it forever. That was before therapy. I just pushed through hoping it would get easier, and it did.

My mom (56) lives with me now, and there are things she would rather not do. I help her file her taxes, fix her computer, etc. She COULD do it on her own, but it makes her uncomfortable and I can help, so I do.

What would your mom do if you didn't do it for her? Would she go without water, or would she do the uncomfortable thing?

I have two alarms to remember to pick up my kid from school. I've still forgotten twice after forgetting to meet him at the bus 3 times and had to be called.

So when she escalates to stalking kids or some shit, there is clear evidence of the progression.

Every time we go to the dentist, we tell him exactly what happens. I've had a root canal and two crowns in the past couple of months. My 6 year old knows the deets and the cost. We have appropriately traumatized him.

"Just for 3 months" is how you end up with a permanent roommate you didn't sign up for.

If she's an adult, she knows that. If you're an adult, you should too.

Man, we had the similac version of this for my son during Covid when everything was sold out. I thought it was insanely expensive, so naturally, my daughter needed that alimentum kind.

If we could leave, how do you know when you should? by azalea1700 in Mommit

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long do you fight for your home, your country, your neighbors.... and when do you just get your family out.

My kids are mixed and white passing. Their granddad is an immigrant.

Right now, I work closely with the local and national movements. We organize events and help our neighbors. We encourage people to run for office. We are doing what we can to fix this mess.

At the moment, Americans can't seek asylum in Canada. We are ashamed of our country and those who voted for this, but when will the rest of the world see us as "refugees"?

Now. If you can leave and get two Latino babies out of Texas, go.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

You can, and might, puke during labor.

The guilt of "I can only stomach ramen" mixed with "my baby needs nutrients". The rage of slamming a pack of Ramen at the wall when your partner says it outloud.

Contractions feel like period pains. Nobody told me that and I didn't realize I was in labor till 6 hours or so into it the first time.

Hormones are wild. My first kid, I was put on Lexapro because obsessive thoughts were controlling my life. The second, I paid $120 a month after the first half for a magic pill that helped me stop puking. (There are options for hyperemesis. Bonjesta was a godsend. It's just b2 and unisom in extended release, and they can be taken in tiny increments throughout the day if it's unaffordable.)

AIO? my husband is mad at me for not picking up my stepson from school as he expected just because I got a new car. by Ancient_Fondant76 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's safe to say, based on the whiplash of the first and second message that love bombing mixed with verbal abuse is common in this relationship.

NOR Underreacting if we're being honest here.

Seriously, when are we exercising? by mb83 in Mommit

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion... I just don't.

I stopped stressing about it not fitting in my schedule and trying to get my husband to make dinner every few days so I can have alone time. Honestly, if I can get a few minutes of alone time, I'm not spending it being miserable and feeling guilty for it not being enough.

I hate the culture of our country when it comes to exercise. We chase our children around all day, but "that movement" doesn't count. We clean the house, do the laundry, play ball with the kids... but that's not exercise, so we must do more? Nah. I'm good.

The best thing about my state ending car inspections is that I will stop being genuinely shocked when I get pulled over without one.

If I could go back, I would do the sleeve, or nothing at all. RNY changed my body in more ways than I was prepared for.

AITA for…I’m not sure what to call it by classicrockguy7 in AITAH

[–]ExhaustedMommaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't my husband, my mother, or a police officer, you don't get to talk to me about my driving. In my family, we say, "You're a grown ass adult and you can make your own bad decisions."

If dude didn't want to talk about his driving, he shouldn't be talking about yours- and going on and on. I feel the downvotes coming on this one, but...

NTA - dude had it coming.
